Our experience of liver Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma: from a misdiagnosis to liver transplantation with long term follow-up.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Malignant Hepatic Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is an uncommon vascular tumor of intermediate malignant potential. HEHE is a rare tumor and it is difficult to diagnose for surgeons, hepatologists, radiologists and pathologists. So, misdiagnosis with a delay of the treatment is not uncommon. We describe a case of a young woman with a diagnosis of HEHE made 6 years after the first evidence of liver mass with a very long term follow-up after surgical treatment. She had two diagnoses of Hepatocellurar carcinoma (HCC) and a diagnosis of Cholangiocarcinoma after three different fine needle biopsies. After clinical observation, a new laparoscopic core biopsy was performed. In a first time approach, considering clinical and radiological patterns, a diagnosis of Budd-Chiari Syndrome was finally made. For that the patient underwent an orthotopicliver transplantation (OLTx). The surgical sample histological analysis allowed a definitive diagnosis of HEHE. At last, at follow up 7 years after three OLTx the patient is still alive and in good health with no evidence of recurrence.
